installing SAM/ELN using apache+tomcat on debian?

[mmiller3@iupui.edu (Michael A. Miller)]

I am attempting to install the SAM/ELN software from ORNL/PNNL
(collaboratory.emsl.pnl.gov and sourceforge.net/projects/eln/)
but I am hampered by having no experience with tomcat.  Has
anyone successfully run this software on a debian box with apache
and tomcat?  I am not able to get user authentication to work.

P.S. I am using tomcat5 5.0.30-12etch1 and apache2.2
2.2.3-4+etch3
